What are we getting ready for? What do we expect to happen? Do we anticipate the end of the world? Are we preparing our ...read more

    INTRO.- Do you know what time it is? Many people are living in their own little fairy tale world and they don’t know what’s going on spiritually. ILL.- “Actress Katie Holmes Six Years Later” the article stated. Six years after what? Six years after meeting Tom Cruise. ...read more

    The Half-Time Speech

    Just as the disciples felt they were winning the game, the second half came and they lost badly. Or so they thought.

    Half-time speeches are meant to motivate. My son Shane forever complains that the Panthers should make “adjustments” at half-time. So half-time is when things happen to win games. Today we are looking at Jesus half-time speech. Jesus and his “Fantastic Twelve” have been on ...read more

     | 6,235 views

    The word "moment" is used 3X in the N.T., KJV. 3 Greek words are used and applied to 3 areas: temptation, trials, and the Rapture. It's amazing how God can intervene during each "moment" and how He turns them around for our good!

    This sermon was preached when a church was installing a new pastor. Membership shoud be reminded that churches evolve over the course of time. Diferent Pastors do things diferently. The method may change but the message of the Gospel remains the same.

    The Signs Of The End Times

    When we see natural disasters and conflicts, we can be sure that Christ’s return is near. We must be ready, because he could return at any time. The promise of his return offers us hope.

    At first glance the reading we just heard from Luke 21:25-36 seems to be out of place during Advent. After all, most of us think of Advent as a time to prepare for Christmas. That is only partially true. Advent is also a time to remember and prepare for Christ’s Second Coming, and that ...read more
